Has anyone ever had this happen when viewing the verge or any other websites using your windows phone? It happens to me quite a bit, at least once a day.

When this happens, basically the browser just crashes, and when you go back to it, the tab that you were viewing that made things get all wonky is closed. All other tabs are unaffected. MSFT support said they were looking into it, but were unable to replicate the behavior after getting my phone model, firmware #, OS# zip code, and carrier...

I don't remember this ever happening on my Focus, but has happened on my soon to be sold Focus S, and on my Lumia 900 as well...all on either. Focus S on 7720 and 8109 and Lumia 900 on 8112.

Happens all the time on TMZ.com. This is the full site, not the mobile one.

I don't think anything of it, though, because it's clear the site is horribly coded. For example, scrolling often has a significant delay/lag on my DESKTOP browser.(It may crash that browser as well; but I think nothing of desktop crashes.)

Nope, but on my Titan whenever visiting heavy-content sites (such as xda) IE crashes, and goes back to the homescreen. Sometimes when switching tabs, the address bar disappears and display remains blank, by "blank" I mean blank page, like when you open a tab. But at times, the page still renders but no address bar, so like the page is still there but theres a blank bar at the bottom.

The Verge has a beautiful site, but it's too heavy. I haven't bothered to investigate whether it's pure data that has to be pulled in or heavy use of JavaScript and the like, but it's definitely not mobile-friendly in its desktop version. The mobile version works great for me, but I wish there was an easily accessible mobile-desktop toggle (and maybe per-site settings?) a la Android.
